190kg

This morning I felt like doing weights instead of a cardio session so I headed off to the gym. It was going to be legs and abs day! I am feeling really good lately and can't believe how strong I feel. Toe pushups almost feel like a breeze (at least for the first 10!) and I am needing to increase my weights all the time.

So when I sat down at the leg press machine I decided to test myself and see how heavy I could go. I started at my previous maximum 110kg... Too light. 130kg... Too light. 150kg... Too light... I ended up at 190kg - the heaviest weight the machine goes to! It was tough, but I got it! I can't believe it! That's 2.7 times my own body weight. Winner!

Things are just going so right for me lately - in my personal life, my work life and with fitness. I feel on top of the world! I can't stop smiling!

About Me

Despite loving exercise, I have always been 'too busy' or too lazy. My weight was creeping up and I was feeling really tired and sluggish. At the end of 2010, I decided to make a change!! I lost 11kg (woohoo!), however I struggled to maintain my weight and gained 4kg.

After seeing two great friends complete Round 2 (2011) of 12WBT, I decided to join in for Round 3! Instead of waiting for pre-season to finish, I am jumping into the deep end and starting my new way of life on 11 August 2011.

I am now completing my second round of 12WBT - Round 2 (2012).
